Downloading YouTube videos to MP4 format is a commonly searched topic, but it’s important to be aware of YouTube’s terms of service, which generally prohibit downloading videos without the explicit permission of the content creator or unless a download button is provided by YouTube itself. Always ensure you’re respecting copyright laws and the rights of creators when downloading videos.
However, if you’re looking for legal ways to download videos for offline viewing, here are some methods that could be useful:
1. YouTube Premium: This is YouTube’s official paid service. With a YouTube Premium subscription, you can download videos directly for offline viewing in the YouTube app, but this does not allow downloading in MP4 format for use outside of the app.
2. Third-Party Websites and Apps: Several third-party websites and software allow you to download YouTube videos. However, many of these tools violate YouTube’s terms of service. If you choose to use them, please do so with caution, and be aware of the legal implications.
Here are some popular tools:
– Y2Mate: This is an online tool that allows you to download YouTube videos in various formats, including MP4.
– SaveFrom.net: Another popular website that provides downloading options for YouTube videos in multiple formats.
– 4K Video Downloader: This is a free desktop application that allows you to download YouTube videos in various resolutions, including MP4.
Always double-check the legality of your actions and avoid downloading content unless you have the creator’s permission or it’s for personal use in accordance with YouTube’s terms.
